When an interpreter makes a statement on the record and is not speaking for the witness, but it is in the middle of an answer that she is translating for the witness, how do you reflect that in the transcript? Here's what I mean:

Q. Has any healthcare provider told you that you will need future treatment?
A. They've told me that I'm going to have other consequences that could be worse, that I could -- interpreter correction -- that could make it impossible for me to walk.

Or would I do it like this:

Q. Has any healthcare provider told you that you will need future treatment?
A. They've told me that I'm going to have other consequences that could be worse, that I could --
THE INTERPRETER: Interpreter correction.
A. -- that could make it impossible for me to walk.

Thanks for your help.
